An Ugly Hideous Monstrous Interpretation Of Matthew 7:13-14

Matthew 7:13-14
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that
leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and
narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."

Humans put forth their own interpretation of Matthew 7:13-14 and their own
interpretation has consequences. Their own interpretation of Matthew 7:13-14
also tells us what they think God is like in His nature. The interpretation of
Matthew 7:13-14 presented by the three schools of Pessimistic Eschatology.
which are {1) Amillennialism (2) Premillennialism (3) Dispensationalism present
God as deliberately choosing to create a race of untold billions of His human
creatures knowing BEFORE He chose to create them that the majority of them
would spend an eternity screaming in agony in the pits of eternal Hell. And many
of these folks tell us not only will the majority of God's human creatures scream in Hell
for all eternity, but it will be the overwhelming vast majority that scream in agony in
Hell for all eternity. Then in the next breath they tell us that God is LOVE and full of
kindness and compassion.

My view is that their free-will-chosen interpretation of Matthew 7:13-14 is wrong. It's
not right to do that. It's not a good thing to do that. It's a bad thing to interpret
Matthew 7:13-14 in such a way that portrays God as the kind of Being that
would create untold billions of human beings knowing BEFORE He created them that
the majority would end up screaming in agony in Hell for all eternity, but then knowing
that, went ahead and created them anyway, but this is exactly and precisely what their
interpretation of Matthew 7:13-14 means and they cannot escape from this their
portrayal of the nature of God. Their interpretation of Matthew 7:13-14 tells you,
that on their interpretation of Matthew 7:13-14, God has done exactly that and
that God is the kind of Being who would do that and that He actually has done that.

What is the solution to this? There is an alternative interpretation of Matthew
7:13-14 that is reasonable and it says Matthew 7:13-14 describes ONLY the very bad
spiritual conditions of the 1st century when Jesus spoke the words of Matthew 7:13-14
in that 1st century generation of Jews who ended up rejecting Him as their Savior and
ultimately murdered the innocent Lord Jesus. Indeed only a relatively few in that 1st
century generation, did find the Lord Jesus as their Savior. But that 1st century generation
is NOT representative of the entire human race and all future human generations, and
there is NOT a single Bible verse that says it is. So? So you don't have to believe that
it is representative. You can use your free will to choose NOT to believe that it is
representative of the entire human race. And in fact it is NOT representative of the
entire human race and all future generations.


So?

So the three schools of Pessimistic Eschatology {1) Amillennialism (2) Premillennialism
(3) Dispensationalism do NOT have to interpret Matthew7:13-14 as being historically
predictive of the future of the human race. They use their free will to choose to interpret
Matthew 7:13-14 that way ~~ and it's wrong to do that. It's not right. It's not a good
thing to do, to interpret Matthew 7:13-14 in such as way that presents God as being
the kind of Being that creates untold billions of human beings knowing BEFORE He
created them, that the majority of them would end up screaming in agony in Hell for
all eternity.

What a mess you've made of it.
Matthew 7:13-14 is simple.
Those in the wide gate die physically.
Those in the narrow gave live. Are transformed.
The wolves in sheep's clothing in Matthew 7:15, keep you comfy in the Wide Gate - telling you that 'Death is just a part of Life', that 'Everyone Dies'. Those wolves have produced billions of dysfunctional wolf-children called 'christians' who have no illumination from their dead religion called christianity.

Your supposed interpretation forgets the scriptural documentation that God condemned "mankind" once previously because of the free will choices they made when HE (God) saved only 1 family...............NOAH. You assume that man's is destined by God's choices......not their own. God wants the entire family of man to be saved......yet when one freely chooses to ignore God's advise and the teachings of Christ Jesus (who was granted rulership of both Heaven and Earth)....man often chooses wrong.

Why study the account of Noah when considering the fate of modern man under the covenant of Christ Jesus? Read 1 Peter 3:21 in a straight forward method.......no interpretation required. Peter was guided by the wisdom of the Holy Spirit when he recorded the message that compares the Modern Christian with the record of Noah and the judgment that condemned all mankind save one family and how like Noah the Christian must seek salvation in FAITH not actions alone as the covenant of Christ Jesus is based upon grace not the requirements to walk a perfect life such as was found in the Old Covenants. You must have faith that your actions come from the will of God. How do we find the will of God. WE READ THE RECORD LEFT BEHIND BY THE APOSTLES OF CHRIST (that were inspired by the Holy Spirit of God).

In order to find grace one must first accept the conditions thereof freely.

Clearly God has revealed that He wants all of mankind to be saved.....but free will makes that choice mankind's responsibility. Man must come to the knowledge of the truth first and foremost. (1 Tim. 2:3, 4) "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior. Who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth."

God had a plan for mankind to be saved before time itself began....but the choice is man's responsible to find that which is true. How do you find truth for the Christian? In the word of God.

The scriptures teach us that God's plan all along was dependent upon the birth, life, death (sacrifice) and resurrection of Christ Jesus. Peter tells us this plan existed before the foundation of the world (1 Peter 1:20). Paul states basically the same thing (2 Tim. 1:9). The scriptures also enlighten us to the documented fact that this plan was hidden from mankind until such time as God choose to reveal the plan.....to His prophets who themselves did not comprehend that which was being revealed during their lifetimes. (Eph. 3:5,6) (1 Peter 10-12).

We can read that the plan was revealed to all mankind by the prophets and Apostles at the correct time (during the life of Jesus Christ), it was revealed by the Holy Spirit of God Himself, at the proper time (Eph. 3:5, 1 Peter 1:12) THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "PRIVATE INTERPRETATION".......its forbidden by God. The truth has been revealed by God through the Holy Spirit and requires no interpretation (2 Peter I: 20) To find the truth seek out and search the revealed word of God (the word that has been confirmed by signs and wonders.....not pretention of being in command of something they knew nothing about (such as the witch that wanted to purchase the power to give the power of the Holy Spirit to whom he would. It was the duty and mission of the early Church Apostles to reveal a truth that required no interpretation other than their own.

Its also revealed that when we read the WORD we can understand void of any supernatural power (Eph. 3:4). We are commanded to understand (Comprehend the truth). Its often a mystery that can be understood.....only by reading the Holy Scriptures themselves. God wants us to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Tim. 2:3,4). If God wants it.......man has the ability to accomplish it.

the majority would end up screaming in agony in Hell for all eternity, but then knowing
that, went ahead and created them anyway, but this is exactly and precisely what their
interpretation of Matthew 7:13-14 means and they cannot escape from this their
portrayal of the nature of God. Their interpretation of Matthew 7:13-14 tells you,
that on their interpretation of Matthew 7:13-14, God has done exactly that and
that God is the kind of Being who would do that and that He actually has done that.

What is the solution to this? There is an alternative interpretation of Matthew
7:13-14 that is reasonable and it says Matthew 7:13-14 describes ONLY the very bad
spiritual conditions of the 1st century when Jesus spoke the words of Matthew 7:13-14
in that 1st century generation of Jews who ended up rejecting Him as their Savior and
ultimately murdered the innocent Lord Jesus. Indeed only a relatively few in that 1st
century generation, did find the Lord Jesus as their Savior. But that 1st century generation
is NOT representative of the entire human race and all future human generations, and
there is NOT a single Bible verse that says it is. So? So you don't have to believe that
it is representative. You can use your free will to choose NOT to believe that it is
representative of the entire human race. And in fact it is NOT representative of the
entire human race and all future generations.


So?

So the three schools of Pessimistic Eschatology {1) Amillennialism (2) Premillennialism
(3) Dispensationalism do NOT have to interpret Matthew7:13-14 as being historically
predictive of the future of the human race. They use their free will to choose to interpret
Matthew 7:13-14 that way ~~ and it's wrong to do that. It's not right. It's not a good
thing to do, to interpret Matthew 7:13-14 in such as way that presents God as being
the kind of Being that creates untold billions of human beings knowing BEFORE He
created them, that the majority of them would end up screaming in agony in Hell for
all eternity.

Salvation is open and available to all, but few will be saved. John 1:12 kills any notion of universal salvation.

How fun, the Eternal Damnationist's quote John 1:12, then the Universalist's remind them of John 1:13 -
"Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”

The Creator of the Universe is a Universalist - imagine that.

An Ugly Hideous Monstrous Interpretation Of Matthew 7:13-14

Matthew 7:13-14
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that
leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and
narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."

Humans put forth their own interpretation of Matthew 7:13-14 and their own
interpretation has consequences. Their own interpretation of Matthew 7:13-14

Matthew 7:13-14 presented by the three schools of Pessimistic Eschatology.
which are {1) Amillennialism (2) Premillennialism (3) Dispensationalism present
God as deliberately choosing to create a race of untold billions of His human
creatures knowing BEFORE He chose to create them that the majority of them
would spend an eternity screaming in agony in the pits of eternal Hell. And many
of these folks tell us not only will the majority of God's human creatures scream in Hell
for all eternity, but it will be the overwhelming vast majority that scream in agony in
Hell for all eternity. Then in the next breath they tell us that God is LOVE and full of
kindness and compassion.

My view is that their free-will-chosen interpretation of Matthew 7:13-14 is wrong. It's
